The second part of Wicked, the hit Broadway musical turned movie, directed by Jon M Chu, has a trailer for the second instalment.

Starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey and Peter Dinklage, Wicked – For Good is about Elphaba (Erivo), the future Wicked Witch of the West and her relationship with Glinda (Grande), the Good Witch of the North.

It’s true, I still haven’t seen Wicked, on film or stage. One day I might. However, right now, my aversion to musicals keeps me enjoying the works of my favourites, Bailey, Erivo, and Grande via other ‘non-musical movie’ avenues.

As always, this new film makes me happy for the super fans, especially since I’ve only heard great things about the first instalment.

Have you seen Wicked (2024)?

Jeff Goldblum, Llyrio Boateng, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater, Bronwyn James, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Adam James, Erin Battle and Joel Stern also star.

Wicked – For Good Release Dates: November 21st 2025 (US & UK)…

SUPERMAN (2025): New Trailer From Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, David Corenswet, Isabela Merced…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Superman (2025).

Director James Gunn’s Superman reboot has a good-looking new trailer, starring Nicolas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, David Corenswet and Isabela Merced.

It’s likely safe to say that Corenswet is a good choice for Superman. Nevertheless, after watching this trailer, Hoult’s Lex Luthor is who I can’t wait to see. I’m hoping I don’t find myself arrested by his performance, the way I was by Heath Ledger’s Joker, because spending more than half the movie desperately wanting your favourite character to reappear on screen again and again is not that fun.

Who has you most enchanted, the villain or our hero?

Milly Alcock, Wendell Pierce, Mikaela Hoover, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Skyler Gisondo, Terence Rosemore, Will Reeve, Sean Gunn her, Christopher McDonald, Anthony Carrigan and Loren Qualls also star.

Superman Release Dates: July 11th, 2025, (US & UK)…

Many Fans of Stephen King’s work are happy because one of his popular novellas, The Life of Chuck, has been turned into a drama/fantasy/sci-fi movie starring Tom Hiddleston, Karen Gillan and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Directed and co-written by Mike Flanagan, the genre-bending tale shares three chapters in the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz.

I hadn’t heard of The Life of Chuck until very recently. Post-teaser trailer viewing a couple of months ago, there wasn’t much of a pull to watch it. Well, except that it stars one of my favourites, Monsieur Hiddleston.

This new trailer has me curious. It also brings to mind Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella (2015), which I love. This new movie’s implied theme of kindness must be part of the reason.

What do you think? Which movie does this one remind you of?

Jacob Tremblay, Mia Sara, Molly C. Quinn, Samantha Sloyan, David Dastmalchian, Mark Hamill, Matthew Lillard, Rahul Kohli, Carl Lumbly, Saidah Arrika Ekulona, Sauriyan Sapkota and Franklin Ritch also star.

The Life of Chuck Release Dates: June 6th, 2025 (US)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Wednesday Season 2 (2025).

It’s time to get back into following Wednesday Addams’s journey during her student years.

Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, Wednesday – Season 2 stars, to name just a few, Jenna Ortega, Fred Armisen, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Joy Sunday.

This is a great trailer. For it looks fun, intriguing and visually rich. I’ll absolutely be watching. I must also admit that I wouldn’t say no to adding Wednesday’s lovely coat to my wardrobe, in more than one colour, and for more than one season, of course.

Bring on the fun, I say.

Luis Guzmán, Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Georgie Farmer, Victor Dorobantu, Moosa Mostafa, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Christina Ricci, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Steve Buscemi, Riki Lindhome and Iman Marson also star.

Wednesday – Season 2 Release Dates: Part 1 – August 6th; Part 2 – September 3rd, 2025.

SKETCH (2025): New Trailer Starring Tony Hale, Bianca Belle, D’Arcy Carden…

4 Comments

New comedy/fantasy/horror film Sketch has Tony Hale (Veep (2012-2019) as a single dad navigating unchartered territory when his daughter’s comically dark drawings start coming to life.

Additional key cast includes D’Arcy Carden, Bianca Belle, Kue Lawrence and Kalon Cox.

The humour and special effects have me interested. Also, I imagine it won’t be a nightmare-inducing-scary-type, let’s hope.

Lastly, I’m quite intrigued by the young girl’s drawings, especially since little me was far too preoccupied with drawing flowers and colouring trees to create art that featured blood, let alone monsters. Arguably, this is surprising for someone with an imagination as over-active as mine.

How curious are you about this story? Did something similar to blood-eaters make an appearance in your pre-pubescent drawing years? No judgement. Just curious.

Genesis Rose Brown, Jaxen Kenner, Allie McCulloch, Nadia Benavides, Dajanae Cole, Josh Inocalla, Tamiko Robinson Steele, Mitch Miller, Arielle Prepetit, Jesse Santoyo and Leigha Hancock also star.

Sketch Release Dates: August 6th 2025 (US)…
